This issue of the Integral Leadership Review is brought to you from Great Britain. Although the names Great Britain and the United Kingdom (UK) are used interchangeably, technically the term Great Britain refers to the island occupied by England, Scotland and Wales, but does not include Northern Ireland, which is part of the UK. Britain’s position as an island on the edge of Europe and its close relations with the U.S.A. define …

In one of the appendices to this book, the author tells a story about Cheyenne Indian tribes whose initiation rights for young men included sending them out on a hunt for buffalos. Invariably such hunts were initially unsuccessful. Returning empty handed, initiates would be sent to the medicine man who would bolster their courage and confidence by providing a “magic” buffalo map, …

Commentary on a Presentation on Spiritual Intelligence and Integral Theory given by Cindy Wigglesworth to the London Integral Salon and EnlightenNext, Wednesday 25th May

Nicholas Shannon

Does it make sense to talk of “Spiritual Intelligence (SQ)”? And if it does, is SQ something that can be measured, and taught? Can we say that SQ is something that humans develop, and if so, could it be that it develops in humans in a series of stages? …

At first sight this is not a book about leaders or leadership. It is a book about organizational development setting out a theory of the thinking and processes that lead to organizational success. And, whilst not explicitly aimed at business, the focus is very much on …

With much fanfare, the UK prime minister David Cameron recently relaunched the Conservative party’s flagship policy called “Big Society”. Up to now, the UK public have struggled to get their minds around exactly what the “Big Society” means, and the idea has frequently been ridiculed in the UK tabloid press[i]. In essence, the idea behind the policy is that “big government” in the form …

Michael Paone on 08/29 – A 2nd Tier Approach to a 1st Tier World - 09/01/2018Keith - Awesome work! Thank you.
1) I love your exploration of turquoise. I often ask: What is the mysticalization of turquoise really all about? I wonder whether it's lingering purple confusing the mix. Your quotes from Graves & others were helpful. I'm reminded of Sam Harris' recent work around meditation & Vipassana - an atheistic type of experience of non-dual consciousness (or removal of subject-object awareness) that might be a force behind turquoise values stabilizing in an individual. I get excited about new language to remove the mysteriousness & religiosity of turquoise. I hope this would help it gain traction as an attractive way to be. I see people like Harris very important in this.
2) I loved reading about the fMRI studies. I had been wondering whether others had reproduced Graves' research. Very cool to point to this, albeit inconclusive.
3) I appreciate your challenge of the Texas gathering. I share the curiosity of creating a more 2nd tier space. Let's do it next time! I'd be happy to join an organizing committee to represent the millennials. :)
Best,
Michael

Ann Roberts on 08/29 – A 2nd Tier Approach to a 1st Tier World - 08/30/2018Dear Keith thank you for the clarity and the evocation to step into real world engagement. Thought provoking. I find the work of Dr Zachary Bush in the field of Integrated Medicine an example of how to operate in evidence based communication whilst offering pathways both horizontal and vertical development that is orientated around personal health issues. He holds a respect for the mothers who want their children to be well that is inspirational.

Albert Klamt on 05/31 – Third Act In Life - 07/21/2018Excellent! I am now myself in the third act. Meeting Edward J Kelly is a joy as we met virtually already since 2010 or 2012 at the London Integral Circle. Within the last years I became explicity more and more aware of the third act. Born in 1954 I see too much folks in my age who just live passively the third chapter of life. Instead creating opportunities and actively initiating new transitions.
Best from Berlin,
Albert

Rev. Alia Aurami on 05/31 – Colin Wilson: Collected Essays on Philosophers - 06/01/2018Ah, thank you Eugene for calling more attention to Colin Wilson and exploring the relationship of his thinking to Integral Theory. I've been experiencing the upliftment you point to, from his views, since the mid-80s. I resonate strongly with the questions he explores as a philosopher, and the places he's willing to go in those explorations. He was a great influence on me in my younger years, and I am profoundly grateful for him and for all those who helped bring him to the attention of the world. At one point I wanted to write a survey and summary of some of his thoughts, but so far I haven't done that. I recall especially loving his autobiography.
Thank you again!

alan2102 on 8/31 – If Capitalism is Dead, then what? - 04/29/2018Very odd that a long article titled "If Capitalism is Dead, then what?" could be written without once mentioning, in the text, socialism. Yes, I searched. Twice.
Socialism is, of course, the preeminent next step from orange capitalism to green.
